There Are No Silver Bullets

In this emotional memoir, Brent Blonigan recounts his lifelong battle with depression and reflects on all the elements of his life that contributed to his struggles, his strife and his journey of self-discovery. Growing up in the shockingly corrupt culture of small-town Minnesota, he was judged and ridiculed from an early age. Blonigan has been through more than most, but he knows he is not alone because many others also suffer from depression and anxiety. He is bold, honest and forthcoming as he recounts his life and how it led him to where he is today. His hope is to shed light on the disorder of depression, the shortcomings of the medical system in diagnosis and treatment, and the coping strategies he has found helpful - even life-saving over the years. There Are No Silver Bullets: My Family, My Depression provides support, sympathy, information, and insight to anyone suffering from their own depression and anxiety.
